Business Ethics, Walk the Talk

In this episode of Walk the Talk with Blake Peterson, we dive into how Chad Mares, Founder and CEO of The Work Lab, is transforming the way companies support their employees. As a nonprofit, The Work Lab offers innovative services like WorkLife Coaching and Resource Navigation that go beyond traditional internal HR functions, providing personalized guidance for employees facing life’s challenges.

By building resilience and developing strategies for managing disruptions to their personal lives—The Work Lab enhances employee benefits, creates connections to resources in our community, and fosters a healthier, more engaged workforce.

Chad shares insights on creating an ethical work environment that values both personal and professional support. Join us as we discuss how The Work Lab is redefining employee care, making well-being a cornerstone of success in the modern workplace. Discover how this ethical, people-centered approach could lead to a brighter, healthier future in the latest episode of Walk the Talk, brought to you by the Business Ethics Alliance.
